Report on Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Parade!!! ALSO, New EQ Alert For New Madrid/St. Louis!!!

To keep my EQ Blog-3 up to date here, I want to say I made it to that Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Parade that you might have notice I discussed in full in the previous blog entry if you are reading EQ Blog-3 chronologically. Here is one great pic that I took, although it is now like a month later and I do not know where all the rest of the great pics are at!

As I am writing this the result of all of the alerts for Illinois, New Madrid, and those areas was that there were several in the time frame that we watched for them. At least a couple worth mentioning struck just Southern Illinois alone along with a lot of them around the New Madrid neighborhood.

There is a new alert just for the New Madrid region that might just go as far north as St. Louis and it will run through about August 13, 2013 as a result of the landfall of Tropical Storm Chantal at Dominican Republic. This was a fairly big windstorm at landfall there and could result in a fairly big possibly garden variety New Madrid Earthquake that shouldn't be bigger than a 5 at the biggest.

Still an Alert For Chicago!!! MEANTIME Blackhawks Parade is Tomorrow!!!!! And I'm Going!!!

The alert for some earthquake energy heading up towards Illinois and possibly the Chicago Region is about on track with the Frisco Alert that we are also currently watching on my regular EQ Blog, so we should continue to watch Illinois especially since the New Madrid area did get several shakers right on time and in the wake of the landfall at Mexico of Hurricane Barbara.

Tomorrow is the Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup Parade in Downtown Chicago and it looks like I am GOING!!! Now this part of the blog is more about all the logistics of taking the train to downtown and getting that Hawks Discount of a 5 Dollar all day Train Ticket!!! Aiming to hit Washington between Des Plaines and Michigan and my goal is to get a chance to see the Stanley Cup and hopefully get a pic of it!!! PK or Queneville would be pretty neat, too!

For continued California Earthquake info please see www.earthquakealert.blogspot.com
Watching the weather and it looks like there might be some rain around downtown Chicago before the day is over, so I'm hoping to get to see the parade and catch an early train back out of the city. Much as I'd like the nice walk over to Grant Park for the whole big rally thing with those big screens and all. . . did see the rally for the Chicago White Sox a few years back and had a Great Time!

2.4 Richters Near Blytheville, Arkansas--Looks Like Earthquake Could Be Headed North for Illinois/Chicago!!!

Just found this earthquake on the list of Latest Earthquakes @ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nm061413b#summary
And while I know it may not mean much to a lot of people that they got a 2.4 down in that region, it matters to others that we were on the edge of our seats waiting for one to strike there!!!!! Then, again you might say it still doesn't mean nothing that they had a 2.4 down around New Madrid. Just sayin' that there WAS Earthquake Energy heading up in that direction and that it is probably going to continue on along that line where I have been tracking it, or up to Illinois and eventually straight through Chicago and points North. There is still more earthquake energy where that 2.4 came from and don't even be surprised if a SWARM starts up in that region and they get a lot of 2.4 Sized Earthquakes in the coming hours and days!!!!! Keep Watching for a big one as big as 5 Magnitude, too, they get 'em!!!

Thank-You Again for reading and Be Prepared Illinois, and Chicago!!!!! EQ Guy

HERE IS THE LATEST DIGITAL EQ ALERT, CLICK ARROW:

Thank-You For Watching! EQ Guy

New EQ Alert: New Madrid, Illinois, Chicago!!! Up To 5.9!!!

Landfall of Hurricane Barbara at the far Southern tip of Mexico bearing due North, actually just to the East of Due North, will now create a new source of earthquake energy this time heading directly for New Madrid, Missouri as well as Cairo, Illinois and straight up across Illinois to Chicago! I always want to say any of these places could shake immediately just due to not wanting to wait to send out this brand new EQ Alert, but also because sometimes they actually will shake in the first several hours after such a landfall. With windspeeds reported at 75 mph of course making it a Hurricane, I might also guess the gusts as high as 90! Additionally down the road Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Novosibirsk will also be directly in line for some of this new earthquake energy however with the maximum being around 5.9 for those areas as well they shouldn't get it too bad unless it's a direct hit at a population center. On the other hand if New Madrid, Illinois, and Chicago is a direct hit on a heavily populated area it could affect a million people. . . around Chicago who you could say are about overdue for a major earthquake or at least a good garden variety Illinois Shaker anyways!!! Thank-You for Reading! EQ Guy

A Few More Hours of Full Moon Window, Any More Earthquakes After That???

The Full Moon Window will run all through today and up until around Midnight tonight my time or 9:27pm Pacific. I'm starting to wonder if all of that earthquake energy might have already been released and if we will even have any more earthquake energy to be watching for? I could go so far as to say that the big one from the landfall at Bangladesh of Cyclone Mahasen could well be now past due to certainly having plenty of tectonic plate movement up around the Eurasian Plate in addition to Susanville, California. . . but what does that tell us about the upcoming potential Major Earthquake for Los Angeles? Could enough potential seismic energy be released up around them areas to avoid more of it being released around L.A., Orange, Riverside, and Imperial Counties later this week? I suppose the route we will have to take, knowing full well what the naysayers are going to say, is to keep watching as a precaution and continue being prepared! In the end the worst that will happen is a few of us go out and by a couple cases of bottled water and an ax, never ending up needing them. . . of course along with the naysayers screaming fraud and charlatan, etc., but I suppose one has to get used to that part of the job. Bottom line in my opinion is that there was a lot of earthquake energy coming and could still be more coming! And plenty of naysayers headed this direction, too! Don't forget that we DID NOT predict either of those major earthquakes! Thank-You for reading!!! And Continue To Be Prepared in Los Angeles! EQ Guy

Full Moon is Here!!!!! Will We Get More Earthquakes???

My phone was chiming all day long with all of the aftershocks from last nights Northern California Earthquake and I even actually heard somewhere that due to the combination of all of the earthquakes at Norcal, and that huge one up farther north at Kamchatka, due to all of that somebody said people are leaving San Francisco and other West Coast places such as I understand the coast of Oregon. I think this was in a blog somewhere that a lot of people are now thinking that it is due to a major earthquake fault that is supposed to be doing something or whatever. Well, if you are one of them who's wondering then the answer is definitely YES. . . but the process just takes millions, and millions of years to run its course and that is about all for now as far as that sort of stuff happening! And you can quote me, too!

The exact moment of the full moon will be in about another hour here as I am writing and if you are reading this far beyond Friday Night, May 24, 2013 at 11:27pm Central Time, then it is past because that is the exact moment and time of the full moon. The Full Moon Window will run through Saturday Night also at 9:27pm CDT, and just might have some more Major Earthquake Energy yet to go!!! Here is a Great Pic of Tonights Full Moon:

I had one question that I want to answer concerning the Mercalli Scale! The Mercalli Scale is the system once used to rate the size of an earthquake mostly in the days before seismographs. Mercalli rates the size of an earthquake by glasses that break, windows that break, chimneys that fall, doors that don't shut, and buildings destroyed and beyond. The former might be a 3 and the later a 6 or 7, etc. Here is a link to a Great story on Wikipedia.org: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercalli_scale . . . Thank-You for the question!!!

There will still be other earthquakes coming including the Los Angeles Earthquake that could strike at any moment or sometime this week still. Here is that Official Prediction if you still wish to view it: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/05/official-prediction-for-major.html

Here's Wishing Everybody a Good Holiday Weekend!!!!! Sincerely, The EQ Alert Guy

May 2013 Full Moon Window Begins at 9:27pm Pacific Time Tonight!!!

There is a lot of other stuff going on but it will still be very important for everybody to remember that among all the other earthquake stuff currently happening, that this months Full Moon Window will begin in just a couple hours!!! The exact moment of the full moon will be at 04:27 Universal Time very early tomorrow morning which means 11:27pm yet tonight my time or Central Time and 9:27pm tonight Pacific Time. So that would be the time to start watching the closest for earthquakes especially up around Sichuan, China, Tibet, and Nepal. I should add Tiblisi and Novosibirsk at this point, too! Just seen on the USGS list of latest earthquakes there had been a 7.4 Richters earthquake at Tonga, just after noon my time and so there is probably most certainly still at least that amount of major earthquake energy still out there which could strike at practically any time, now! While Idaho, Yellowstone and Seattle are up that way they probably should not be affected yet since it is only Day 12 after Cylone Mahasen, however it is also Day 12 after that tornado at Granbury, TX and so that EQ Alert was for the State of Baja California, Mexico just south of OUR State of California and could well get some of this shaking that might occur with this months Full Moon and could well be felt in the U.S. And if you have already read my recent Official Prediction for Los Angeles, then you know there just might be something out that way, too, say Palm Springs but that O.P. runs for a whole week yet and might not be triggered this soon by the full moon!
